Research Fellow · University of Siena
Applied AI researcher bridging Deep Reinforcement Learning and Computer Vision with real-world systems — from energy grids to clinical decision support.
I'm a Research Fellow at the Interaction Design Lab, University of Siena, working under Prof. Antonio Rizzo on AI applications for energy management and healthcare. My background is in Robotics Engineering (University of Perugia), which gives me a strong foundation in autonomous systems and algorithm development.
My research spans two main threads. In energy systems, I develop Deep Reinforcement Learning and federated learning approaches for microgrid control, Battery Energy Storage Systems, and renewable energy communities. In healthcare, I work on Computer Vision pipelines for clinical environments and dialogical AI systems for decision support.
I'm particularly interested in the gap between research prototypes and deployable systems — building things that actually run in hospitals, factories, and energy grids.
